I'm back home, so I can watch videos again

A trailer for Call of Duty using The Wind of Change. Very nicely put together.

I was in Berlin about a year before the wall came down (my uncle was commanding the REME regiment there), and it was very odd (and cheering) to see it change shortly afterwards.

Computer games have come a long way since Space Invaders

A gameplay trailer for Battlefield 3. Which looks, to be honest, better than any movie computer special effects did ten years ago. The gameplay looks pretty standard for that kind of game, but the graphics are just outstanding. We're clearly over the uncanny valley, and working our way towards fidelity.

(Best watched full screen, in 1080p if your bandwidth can cope with it.)
